Chief Minister Natasha Fyles’s office has released an extraordinary statement identifying who she has met with while in the US, following intense public outrage over the $93,000 taxpayer-funded trip, also revealing she will now spend time in Los Angeles and San Diego.
Ms Fyles, who left for Washington last weekend with seemingly no official meetings scheduled, initially told state media, the NT News, the purpose of the un-costed, “vital” trip was to discuss defence issues with US officials – which is typically handled by the Commonwealth – as well as to hold meetings with others to discuss critical minerals and the Territory’s emergency response capabilities.



Unlikely the NT will get any return on those meetings. Meeting people way above her pay grade!
You mean above her IQ quotient, she is a qualified swim teacher.
l’m sure they said after she left “Who the F@#k was that”
